Hello everyone. Newbie here.
I’ve just had some seedlings sprout up and I think I’ve made a school boy error.
Yesterday I placed them in direct sunlight ( they have been behind a blind until now). When I got home from work I noticed the one had brown spots and I presumed it was scorched by the sun? (Correct me if I’m wrong).
I’m pretty sure it’s a black cherry.
I have a couple of questions.
1. Would it help to remove this leaf?
And 2. As you can see, it’s a little bit wonky. Should I be supporting it or something as it seems like it’s ready to fall over. Actually I did kind of push the soil together to make it more upright so the picture doesn’t really tell the story.
Thanks for reading

Yes, scorched by the sun. But also very leggy due to lack of sun. You did the right thing to move it to more sun. However it was done too fast. Now, try again but this time with a slow adaptation over a 2 week period.
